Several hours in cobh is enough to see the town and visit it's main attractions. this time we took the train into Cork for the morning and early afternoon and... More

Loved this place, the houses are beautiful, the coffee breakfast place had the best latte in Ireland! The titanic museum is overpriced but we had to go anyway. Not much to do but very pretty around town. Lovely Cathedral. nice for a few hours. More

Best natural port in Northern Hemisphere, hence the cruise ships. Titanic experience good but gets crowded when a cruise ship is docked and there is then a wait. Could be organised a little better. Nothing special about the town. The cafe we ate at was disappointing though the title 'Tasty' sounded good, average service and little home made. Impressive cathedral... More

Cobh is advertised as a quaint little coastal village that just happens to have been the last spot the Titanic touched land before leaving on it's final voyage. The home of a beautiful cathedral and residents with that small town Irish hospitality. I wish I could have visited at some point, back in time, when that statement was true. It... More

So much information, The history of probably the most important times in Irish history completely overshadowed by the Titanic disaster. Cobh is a pretty town, forgotten in the wake of the sinking of the Titanic. The mass emigration of the starving Irish population to other countries, and even the sinking of the Louisatinia off Cork are almost forgotten. More

We stopped here on our Paddywagon tour and had time to walk up to the cathedral for an overview of the city and water. There are plenty of restaurants, cafes and shops in this small town. There is history here relating to the Titanic which we were not aware of before. There are memorials and the original ticket office is... More

Celebrity Eclipse Transatlantic April 21, 2012 was to port in Cobh, Ireland but due to weather that port was cancelled. My wife and I, along with my sister and her husband had earlier booked a tour with BUTLER TOURS for the day of our scheduled arrival. Just a few weeks prior to sailing, my sisters husband was killed in a... More
